For the Oscars, Adams and her hairstylist Laini Reeves settled on sculpted waves. "We decide her hair would look like this no matter what dress she wore," Reeves said. Working a few drops of Couture Colour Pequi Oil into damp hair gave Adams's strands that "luxurious, rich feel." Reeves then set the head in 1-1/2 inch rollers, allowed the hair to dry, and brushed through the waves with soft bristle brush.

For the Toronto International Film Festival premiere of The Master, makeup artist Stephen Sollitto complemented the star's clean skin with a sheer lip and understated eye. A touch of aptly-placed bronzer made her skin more radiant, and broke up the singular color of the tinted moisturizer: "I always add bronzer on every girl I work with. If you add foundation, the face is one blank canvas of color, by adding bronzer, there is more dimension, which makes the skin look natural."

At the Calvin Klein show during New York Fashion Week, Adams mastered the minimalist effect with her clean skin, tinted lip, and lit-from-within blush. "With her slicked back hair and gorgeous white dress, Amy looked exactly how we wanted her to look," said the star's makeup artist Stephen Sollito. "Pulled together, yet effortless-kind of like Amy herself!"

Hairstylist Laini Reeve's used a '80s hair tool to create Adam's '20s-inspired look for the Golden Globes. "I parted the hair, then waved two-inch vertical sections with a large crimping iron," Reeve told us. She then misted on Moroccanoil Glimmer Shine Spray, combed it through with a soft bristle brush, and pulled all the hair to the right before twisting it into a bun and securing with pins. She loosened a few pieces to give the cluster an "airy, modern look."
